14 f \ J 'i." HOUSEHOLD TALKS Henrietta D. Grauel How to Serve Grapefruit Grapefruit is popular with all whol" I%now how to prepare anil serve it. This] fruit has tonic properties: is an excel tent appetizer and is exceedingly whole-' some. If you have grapefruit often pur chase a pair of shears for dining room I use and keep them for cutting out the| tough centers and freeing the pulp from the bitter rind; they answer much j better than a fruit knife. As it is the; white inner lining that gives the bitter! taste to this mild fruit the pulp should | be put into a bowl and covered with' fruit sugar over night. When ready toj nerve it may he replaced in the grape fruit shell. There are so many hand-< some classes of various shapes, how ever, that are planned especially for, this fruit, that the 'shells are now usually discarded. The small grapefruit may have the juice squeezed from them with a glass lemon press and this served in a tall thin glass is weH liked as an appetizer; before breakfast. Grapefruit jelly served with cream is one of the most dainty desserts when made like this:— To the pulp and all the juice of one large or three small grapefruit use two large tablespoons of powdered gettine, one-half cup of sugar and two cups of boiling water. Dissolve the sugar in the water, add the dissolved gelatine, and then the fruit. More sugar can be added, with the cream, if it is needed. This mixture should be put in a mold to solidify but if all the fruit is put in j at onco it will go to the bottom.

Grapefruit Wends well with oranges and with other fruits so that it is liked ' in fruit salads. The combinations that | it is used in are many and all may be varied to suit everyone. The following proportions will be i found correct for a large quantity. You ! may add bananas or white grapes or i cherries, and any other fruit, as you 1 like. Grapefruit Salad —One bunch of blanched celery cut in small dice. Pulp of six oranges and three small grape fruit or one large one. . Juice of two j lemons. One-half pound of pecan nuts, one-half pound of American walnuts and a few Brazil nuts cut fine. The Hrazil nuts should be cut in thin slices. Mix the above together and sprinkle with sugar until sufficiently sweet. Cover and place on ice while you make j the dressing. Beat the whites and the yolks of four eggs separately: to the latter add three tablespoons of powdered sugar, j one-half teaspoon of mustard, a little salt, one tablespoon of flour and stir until smooth. Then add one cup ot' rich cream whipped stiff, the still whites of the eggs and a "half a cup of white vinegar, ( hill this and pour over the fruit and nut mixture just before serv ing. Mayonnaise or cream dressing may be used in place of the above but the i one given blends delightfully with the I fruit. | tor William E. Crow, of Fayette; for < iner Representative R. S.

Eggers, of Greenup county, Kentucky, ! presented a requisition to Governor ! Ferris yesterday for the return of Er ; nest Eggers, his oldest son, who is un der indictment in Kentucky for mur ! der. The Sheriff said his son would 1 not fight for extradition anounds." Anions t lip uncomfortable onlookers there was a start of surprise, but Lord ; Cecil merely nodded. ami. scribbling a cheik. hand< (1 tt to Robert and stroll ed nwhy. Robert. with white face, j passed tile check to Lemolne and re ; ceived the 1. (>. I*. That he was bit terly chagrined Lemolne concealed with admirable skill. Airily expressing re gret that it should have been neces sary to trouble one for so trifling a matter, he took his departure. The nest afternoon Ixird Cecil re- j ceived from Rrownelowe & Co.. limited, bankers, a statement to (lie effect that his draft for £-1.000 had been duly cashed, that, as per instructions, a mortgage for that amount had been added to the incumbrance on Croft laigh manor and that the total value of all remaining securities in the bank's hands was some £2,000. If Lord Cecil was concerned it was not appar ent from his bored expression as he read the letter. Securing ills hat and cane, he started to walk to Robert's apartment. On the same day the Count Lurovich returned to London and within an hour had found upon his wife's dressing ta ble the following note, composed by the countess and carefully forged by the many talented Letnoine: My Darling—l will call you that, for you shall be mine, and I cannot think of you aa "the Countess Lurovtch." Despite your cold rebuffs, I adore you and will i yet compel your love. Thine only. ROBERT STANLEY. The count was a man of prompt no tion. Within an hour he had requested the assistance of Baron von Mayer, and that gentleman had presented him self at Lieutenant Stanley's rooms. Lord Cecil hnd arrived a short time before and. not finding Robert, had de cided to await his return. Robert's man had gone upon an errand, and it was Cecil himself who opened the door to Baron von Mayer's knock. And now It was that Cecil's call npon the Countess Lurovich assumed an im portant position. The baron addressed himself to Lord Cecil as to Lieutenant Stanley and delivered the message with which he had been charged. When he had concluded Cecil bowed. "I am sure that, as you suggest, a little trip to France would prove most agreeable," he said, and the baron de parted highly pleased. "One gets so out of practice, y' know. I wonder." Cecil remarked aloud and rummaged until he had unearthed a heavy service revolver. At the oppo site end of the room he placed two •mall whisky glasses. With every ap pearance of carelessness he fired twice in rapid succession, and the shattered glass tinkled upon the floor. Late the following afternoon a strag gling gronp formed in a park like wood on the coast of France. With gravity a space was measured upon the ground. Lord Cecil smiled gravely at the Woe sky. then lowered his eyes to meet those of the Count Lurovich and in them read deadly hatred. A voice counted slowly and was silent Lord Cecil raised his hand and fired Into the sky at which he had smiled. A second report rang out. and Cecil, quietly shifting his pistol to his left hand, pressed a handkerchief to a spot of crimson that spread swiftly over his breast. Then he sank slowly to the Brm green sod. »•••••• A month later Lord Cecil, still weak, but otherwise Recovered from his wound. Iny upon 11 couch In the shabby rooms on Pax ton square and. with Home satisfaction visible on his fea tures. read ntirlor "Army Notes'" the following paragraph: Lieutenant Robert Stanley of the Horse guards has at his request been trans ferred to a line regiment ordered to India and will receive rs rap'.ein's commission. His bride, formerly Miss Ro«e Middle hurst. will accompany him to hie new station. "Will monsieur be so kind as to redeem this little I. O. U.?" CHAPTER IV. An American Heiress. SINCE a year before, when for the sake of his family honor and the happiness of Hose Middle hurst and his nephew, Robert Rtunley. Lord Cecil had made good the |"oung o(Deer's recklessly incurred obli gations, tyis liuaucial affairs had pone steadily from bad to worse, until the rlimax of annoyance was reached In the letter which he now held in his hand. "My Lord Cecil," the communication ran, "we regret to inform your lord ship that your account Is overdrawn by £OIO 9s. Your lordship's only re maining property. Croftlaigh manor. Is mortgaged to the limit. As your agents, we have complied with the in sistent demands of a number of your creditors and arranged that they shall call upon you this morning to effect, if possible, a settlement." Followed the signature of Messrs. Brownelowe & Co., limited, bankers. With an expression of infinite bore dom Lord Cecil addressed the faithful James, who. with the skill of long practice, was engaged in repairing a ripped seam In a well cut but equally well worn frock coat. "A number of, ah. persons, will pres ently present themselves." lie said wearily. "You will, .lames, upon this occasion, admit tlieni. although, as your discerning eye will at once de termine. they will he those banes of existence known as creditors. Since Brownelowe & Co. have seen fit to arrange an interview for them without consulting my convenience, I appre hend that these are money changers of importance in the murket place." James stifled a heavy sigh. Times were indeed out of joint when the only nobleman in all Brltsfr,, who, through immemorial right, might ad dress the king ns "my lord," com placently received importunate trades people. Before the cold courtesy of Lord Ce cil's greeting the blustering manner of the visitors swiftly van ished. Almost apologetically the spokes man for the party informed him that their combined claims amounted to £5,000 and that they needed the money. "Aw, but I haven't it, y' know!" my Lord Cecil remarked dispassionately and stared vacantly at the visitors, who shuffled uncomfortably, but made no helpful suggestion. "By Jove, I have it!" he suddenly ex claimed. "I'll marry an American heir ess, y' know, and pay you all." Tlie creditors exchanged glances of relief and nodded their admiration at his lordship's brilliant solution of the problem. "That will be most agreeable, your ludship," the spokesman declared. "Your ludship is most kind. We will be 'appy to await your ludshlp's mar riage. though we venture to 'ope it will not be long before the 'appy occasion takes place." With bows the visitors moved to ward the door, their spirits much im proved, but were brought to a sudden halt by Lord CecWs next words. "But I'll need funds for tbe trip to America, y' know." he suggested. Sorrowfully the creditors exchanged glances, nodded and produced rolls of banknotes. James disdainfully ac cepted the proffered collection and with stern glance silenced one stout tradesman who muttered In his throat something that sounded like "sending good money after bad." "Pack at once. James." Lord Cecil directed when the door had closed be hind the departing visitors and cheer fully lit a cigarette. • *••••• I THE STAR-INDEPENDENT I I. CERTIFICATE.
